Chaumet reveals its secret nature in Shanghai

In Shanghai, Chaumet unveiled a brand-new high jewelry collection entitled “Jewels by Nature”. Divided into three chapters – Everlasting, Ephemeral and Reviving – this international presentation attracted a great deal of interest from the luxury press. Behind the showcases lies an ode to nature and 245 years of know-how, little known to the general public.

An original jewelry trilogy

The 54 pieces grouped together in “Jewels by Nature” express a strong link between nature and haute joaillerie. The Everlasting chapter features motifs symbolizing resilience, such as fields of wheat or wild roses, true to the House’s naturalist codes.

Ephemeral illustrates the fragility of life with delicate ornaments that seem to move in the light. Reviving, meanwhile, celebrates renewal with dazzling gemstones and reborn plant compositions.

Chaumet expertise in the spotlight

Since its foundation in 1780, Chaumet has built a reputation as an expert in naturalist jewelry. The bee, inherited from Napoleonic iconography, remains today one of its most representative emblems, and runs through this collection like a symbolic golden thread.

One of the flagship pieces, a necklace inspired by a 1922 tiara, combines an 8.23-carat vivid yellow diamond with over 1,300 hours of meticulous craftsmanship. This technicality reaffirms the House’s excellence in the international world of art craftsmanship.

A legacy between past and present

Contrary to popular belief, Chaumet has not frozen its art in its historical archives. Each current piece takes its inspiration from the past, but transposes it with a modern edge. Craftsmen juggle with Colombian emeralds and rare diamonds to renew the House’s style.

The company remains faithful to a visual language that blends handwork with contemporary artistic expression. This translates into airy silhouettes, where floral or animal imagery comes to life thanks to millimetric precision.

This manual expertise, combining tradition and modern techniques, repositioned the French house among the undisputed leaders in international fine jewelry.

Nature at the heart of our creations

Each jewel tells a story, from the eternal fern of Everlasting to the light sea spray of Ephemeral. Fans of luxury jewels know that these stories nurture a special emotion, beyond the simple brilliance of the stones.

The floral and animal motifs reveal a wealth of symbolism: the fragility of the seasons, the naturalistic life cycle, perpetual rebirth. These themes reinforce the collection’s artisanal and poetic dimension.

Echoing a strong industry trend, this showcasing of biodiversity is in keeping with luxury houses’ growing taste for thematic narratives structured in chapters.

Confirmed international impact

Since August 2025, specialized exhibitions and analyses have given “Jewels by Nature” global media coverage. The collection has been widely reviewed by the luxury press and positioned as a creative manifesto.

Critics hail the blend of historical archive and contemporary audacity. Customers, meanwhile, are seduced by the exclusive nature of the stones, some of which total more than 11 carats, reinforcing the idea of absolute rarity.

In Paris, the insider community now looks forward to discovering the pieces in special editions. This launch confirms the strategic importance of Asia as an international showcase.

The impact is already being felt by collectors and is potentially influencing other houses, in an environment where exclusivity reigns. The strong link with nature sets Chaumet apart and gives it a singular identity.
